Senate Unanimously Passes 2013 NDAA; Power To Arrest Americans Remains

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Joe Wolverton, II, J.D. / The New American

Just after 5:00 p.m. Tuesday, the Senate did it again. By a vote of 98-0 (two senators abstained) lawmakers in the upper chamber approved the Fiscal Year 2013 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). Not a single senator objected to the passage once again of a law that purports to permit the president, supported by nothing more substantial than his own belief that the suspect poses a threat to national security, to deploy the U.S. military to arrest an American living in America.

As The New American reported, an amendment to the 2013 version of the defense spending bill passed by the Senate clarified the right to trial of “citizens and permanent legal residents” detained under the relevant sections of the revamped measure.

The amendment, known as the Feinstein-Lee Amendment, was cosponsored by Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), Mike Lee (R-Utah), and Rand Paul (R-Ky.). In an interview Tuesday with The New American, spokesmen for Lee and Paul admitted that the amendment did not go far enough in the defense of due process, but said it was a step in the right direction.

“Colored by our experience with the due process amendment to the NDAA we offered in 2012, we knew that we would have nowhere near the number of votes needed to pass an amendment that guaranteed due process for all persons detained under the NDAA,” explained Doug Stafford, chief of staff for Rand Paul.

      98 blatant Treasonous Traitors with their Usurper obama as president, well isn’t that just cozy. Get rid of those damn vote rigged diabold machines. Go back to the paper type ballots and vote these Rico criminal traitors out.

      • Chris P Bacon 420

        Yes, let’s deal with hanging chads again.

      • Ranger_Ric

        I agree, there will never be another fair election in this country with the electronic voting machines, the last election was a scam. We have the Marxist obama in the White House because of fraud.

        Only a revolution will fix this country.

      No wait,they voted to put themselves on the list of the enemy of the constitution……detain them and let,s see how this thing really works.

      • Anonymous

        This pretty much nulls and voids the constitution and all it stands for. We are officially being ruled over by tyrants.

      gop is practicing capitulation and appeasement as a strategy with someone whose strategy is:
      .
      “His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.”
      .
      Did BHO say this?
      No.
      It was Adolf Hitler – Mein Kampf

      THEY ARE ALL TRAITORS NOW. (I had to scream that)

      Frankly unbelievable – it’s time to start dragging these senators out of their houses

    • USRecovery

      And if trials had not been obstructed (to allow Constitutional Elections in 2008 and 2012), he might have been able to legally-sign it into law), instead of it being pretended-authority-legislation, made by those recalled by the “700,000 Club” (for theft of a trillion+ a year, among oher things)…under 18USC2381, etc…….legal Presidential signature be withheld and the matter objected/vetoed until lawful office occupation(s) occur (the legal authorities, existing before this “draft”, remaining viable)..as with all other legislation, until obstructed adsabotaged, sought jury trials are provided..

      THE FISCAL CLIFF WOULD’VE BEEN ELIMINATED (WITHOUT BENEFIT CUTS OR TAX INCREASES) IF THE ADMINISTRATION HADN’T DEFAULTED ON THE $10,000,000 PROVEN DUE, BEFORE THE ELECTION…AND IMPLEMENTED THE UNIFICATION SCIENCE UPGRADES (TO “U.S. GRADE” OR “PLATINUM STANDARD”). LIKE DR. EINSTEIN’S 1904-RELATIVITY UPGRADES ACCOMPLISHED (WITH THEIR “GOLD STANDARD CERTIFICATES”) THE UNIFICATION SCIENCE DR. EINSTEIN PREDICTED (AND CREATED ALL THE STIMULUS FUNDS FOR–THE REST IS PRODUCING 3X+ DEBT AND CRIME)!!!

      No New Taxes (and Voluntarily, No Taxes At All For Those Who Choose To
      Do So, After Signing the Petition Detailed Below and Joining the
      “700,000 Club”), Until All of Our Grand Juries Are Functioning
      Properly, As The Taxes We’ve Already Paid and Are Already Being Billed
      For Legally Pay For Now (as the Dysfunction of These Juries is What’s
      Caused the Lootings and Preventably-Expanded Crime and Debt Levels,
      the Cause of the Deficits)!!!

      The choices are simple and straight-forward:

      Do you support eliminating the deficit that’s producing a trillion+ in
      preventable interest a year and some reported 20,000+ preventable
      deaths a day?

      Do you support Unification Science Upgrades that GUARANTEE to prevent
      this trillion+ a year in interest alone from being paid to foreign
      powers that will “bomb” us with them upon our derfault upon the
      illegal-loans’-deficit (as Japan did in WWII)?

      Do you oppose cutting already paid for benefits that will increase
      this preventable death toll from some 20,000 per day?

      Can you answer the questions at http://www.PRLog.Org/10439874 (and at least
      start the Unification Science Upgraded Training Progams) and be the
      only ones who qualify to even apply for government office (being “of a
      mind and abiliy to rightly perfrom the duties of the office”, the
      reprovable qualifications to apply, much less hold/occupy office,
      since the 1215 Magna Carta)…the only ones who aren’t creating and
      expandng 3X+ the crime and debt of proper function, instead of
      eliminating crime and debt as only this proper function can
      accomplish?

      Can you follow instructions (do it right) and eliminate crime and
      debt, instead of being a “foreign powers recruit within our borders”
      that can only pretend someone else’s materials are their own
      (counterfeit) and increase crime and debt by 3X+ (producing War Crime
      Levels in th streets, Civil War, and the World War that follows)?

      If you answered yes to all of these, join the “700,000 And Counting
      Club” (By Signing the White House Petition Below) and start working on
      the only real recovery possible, for the first time, today…”Come
      Back Home To America”…..

      The United States is becoming a total Facist Police State. We had a chance with Ron Paul, we have no chance with Dictator Islama.

    • An average Joe

      I can assure you it doesn’t matter who is in office. All these political pawns are controlled by a more powerful group. Call it illuminati or whatever but the fact remains that there are no political parties, there’s the haves and the have nots. So until everyone who is in the 99% wakes up and quits bickering amongst each other we will continue to get used as cattle until the day we all die….the proof is in the pudding.

        Mr.average , couldn’t be better said ; short , sweet , and to the point !!!…. Both political parties are one in the same . It’s us against the politicians , simple as that .

      Brookfield Construction Co. v. Stewart, 284 F.Supp 94: “An officer who acts in violation of the Constitution ceases to represent the government.”

      in Eisner v. Macomber, 252 U.S. 189 (1920), to wit:
      Congress … cannot by legislation alter the Constitution.

      The Legislature, either by amending or otherwise, may not nullify a constitutional provision
      Rost v. Municipal Court of Southern Judicial District of San Mateo (1960)

      Any false representation of material facts made with knowledge of falsity and with intent that it shall be acted on by another in entering into contract, and which is so acted upon, constitutes ‘fraud,’ and entitles party deceived to avoid contract or recover damages.” Barnsdall Refining Corn. v. Birnam Wood Oil Co. 92 F 26 817.

      “Knowing failure to disclose material information necessary to prevent statement from being misleading, or making representation despite knowledge that it has no reasonable basis in fact, are actionable as fraud under law.”
      Rubinstein v. Collins, 20 F.3d 160, 1990

      Fina Supply, Inc. v. Abilene Nat. Bank, 726 S.W.2d 537, 1987 it says “Party having superior knowledge who takes advantage of another’s ignorance of the law to deceive him by studied concealment or misrepresentation can be held responsible for that conduct.”

      It is well established law that Fraud vitiates (makes void) any contract that arises from it.

      In most jurisdictions the breach of an oath, such as an oath of office is PERJURY! AND perjury is generally a FELONY!

      Obama is the biggest threat to America. Start with arresting his illegal alien behind.
      Next are the muslims, followed by most blacks, wetbacks, and the violent gay community.

      We the People need to actually prosecute these many criminals and traitors.
      Our military is now greater than all others on Earth combined. It is controlled by the largest financial companies of the world. It is now IMPOSSIBLE to defeat these forces of evil with any kind of violent force.
      THE ONLY WAY to stop or military from wreaking havoc across the world as it is doing now, is for We the People to reign it in, to prosecute the media, govt., and corporate criminals doing all of this, and to replace the bad guys in office with moral ones. Any who have sworn any secret oath to the Catholics, Freemasons, Illuminati, etc., are the bad guys, and are not eligible to hold office in America under our Constitution (See: Titles of Nobility Clause and amendment).

      I repeat: WE MUST PROSECUTE THESE CRIMINALS, OR WE WILL ALL SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES!

      All this seems to me that the politicans and bankers want to have the “Legal” right to murder the children they rape and be able to kiil those who disagree with their war crimes.
      Any boob off the street knows fully well that all murder is a war crime, no matter what the criminals write down on paper. we are moving into the Light and no egoic politican can change that.

      The ignorance of most amurikans, is the problem. They seem to love dwelling in it, they can’t feel the love of the almighty when bathing in truth. They are deathly afraid of the bathwater, and get angry when one goads them to touch it. I for one can feel the rightousness of the one god in my heart when thinking of all matter of things, in truth. Amurikans want the false beliefs that some other people have concocted for them. They refuse to see using the spirit, they just use their eyes and the limited knowledge and capability of their minds.
